Both of them told them about the vault which houses the soul of Huan Xuyi or the Moon Empress and didn't spare any details including the fights with the elders as well as the encounter with the Isu warrior, Ares. The three of them were stunned as they discovered that the Isu race was sent to this world three thousand years ago and the apple was a technology or device created from their world. A world much more different and advanced than their original world.
As for the Apple, Yun Che explained to them that the device is currently under his control and it was harmless as a normal metallic golden ball. So, they don't have to worry about this thing running wild like the previous Moon Empress who went power hunger because of it. They were quite shocked that this small thing once terrorized the Profound Sky Continent three thousand years ago. They were also relieved that the Apple's power will not work on spiritual beings like them or G.o.dly beings like Mio. Looks like they don't have to think of ways to fend off the apple's power but they still have to be wary that there are other pieces of Eden still left in this world and their powers isn't limited to mind control. He also explained that only five out of eight pieces is somewhere within this world and the remaining three were probably taken to the Realm of the G.o.ds. They had to raise their levels before making their way towards another continent to obtain the other pieces of Eden.
Currently, they are heading towards Xuyi's sanctuary on top of Minazuki to lay her body to rest. It was her dream to be laid rest back to her home village which is now a sanctuary for the non-cultivators. A place she created where normal people or non-cultivators could live peacefully without fearing of oppression by the cultivators. However, the location of such place was a secret and Xuyi didn't even gave them location. Well, probably it didn't cross his mind to ask back then. But, he gained information from the Apple and the system was able to point out its exact coordinates.

Since Cang Yue was still in hibernation, Retsu watched her body to observe any changes while Kon play around the harmless apple. Mio took this moment to snuggle herself with Yun Che earning a slightly jealous look from Retsu. But since she had him most of the time, she decided to let Mio have her turn which she reluctantly do so. Jasmine however sit beside him enjoying some of Retsu's bento prepared especially for long trips like this.
"Yuu-kun, I've been meaning to ask. What happened to that Li Yue girl? Did she lose her life within the tomb?" Retsu asked him while resting Cang Yue's head on her lap. Ever since she shown the Table Hopper technique, she wanted to know what kind of person Little Fairy would trust so much that she decided to teach that technique to her.
"No, I pushed her into the teleporting formation within the tomb to save her life. She probably somewhere random within the empire. Turns out she had her own reasons for entering that tomb. You might be surprised about her true ident.i.ty." He spoke as he softly caresses Mio's head.
"Ehh? What kind of ident.i.ty she had? Then her name isn't actually Li Yue?" Kon suddenly spoke while pus.h.i.+ng the harmless apple back and forth.
"No, that woman's name is Chu Yueli. One of the high ranking members of the Frozen Cloud Asgard. She is also Xia Qingyue's master. Although I didn't meet her directly but she was the who picked up Qingyue before she went back to the sect."
Retsu wondered for a while before she spoke "No wonder she had similar cold sensation just like sister Yuechan. She's from the Asgard as well. Wait, she had the surname Chu? Is she the relative of sister Yuechan?"
"More like a blood relative. She's Little Fairy's younger sister." He answered earning a small shock from her.
"Eh? No wonder she knew the Table Hopper technique but sister Yuechan never spoke to us about her." Retsu was indeed shocked as she found out that Chu Yuechan had a sister. A real sister.
"Before Little Fairy became one of us, she only thinks about cultivation and family bonds were nothing more than a trivial matter. She was once close with her sister but as her ice heart grows, she slowly pushed her away into thinking that she was alone the entire time and her sister was just a sister. Nothing more."
"This ice heart technique really is a troublesome technique after all." Jasmine speaks her mind while munching the bento Retsu gave her.
Yun Che smiled sheepishly as he spoke "Haha.... kind of annoying actually. But, its because of that technique that they were able to evolve their arts as soon as it shatters. The funny thing is, when she regained her emotions and her ice heart shattered. She bonded with her younger sister once more and regained all that lost bond along with her familial love. For years they have been close but distant with each other but now, they reconcile with one another. Her younger sister thought that her weak strength maybe the reason they became distant and its only matter of time before she loses her elder sister again."
Retsu tilted her head as she answered "So, she joined the selection?"
"Hnnn, but her sect won't allow her to enter as she's one of their valuable a.s.sets."
"a.s.sets?" Mio suddenly spoke as Yun Che tend to use his modern day words sometimes.
Yun Che sweatdropped as his modern day terms tends to slip into his speech from time to time. Its about time he stopped such things but old habits die hard. "Uhhhhh…it means important people. Anyway… she joined the selection using a different persona to avoid her sect from exploiting her. She was willing to go that far for her elder sister. Her dreams of becoming a strong duo with her has drive her to enter the selection."
"But, imagined if she lost her life within the tomb, sister Yuechan would be devastated." Retsu spoke with a sad tone. Little Fairy just regained her emotions and if her sister died without a burial, she would be devastated and resorted to become the cold hearted person she was before just to seal the pain of losing her younger sister. Even if she didn't seal her emotion, she might spend most of her time looking for her.
"That's why this lecher saved her life in the tomb and even capture her heart." Jasmine suddenly spoke as she grunted from remembering his encounter within the tomb. "Its not like that, like I said. I only did it because of Little Fairy. I didn't capture her heart intentionally." He defended himself but knowing Jasmine, she won't let this matter go easily.
"So, you DID capture her heart." Jasmine spoke while emphasizing the word 'did'.
"Capture her heart? ….Mou… Dannsama, are we not enough for you?" Mio pouted while tightening the hug around him.
"Like I say, it's nothing like that. I only saved her life." He sighs as he pats Mio's head affectionately. These girls knew he wasn't a lecher type of guy. It's just sometimes action speaks louder than words. A simple action can cause a ripple within a woman's heart especially a matter of life and death. Even if he saved a woman out of whim, they can't blame him for attracting the woman's attention. This is why they have to be with him at all times. To prevent this kind of attention.
"You have to know there are some aftereffects to a woman's heart because of it." Jasmine spoke as this idiot disciple of hers always did things to women again. Even though it wasn't intentional, but sometimes he really needs to think about the after effect of his so called heroic action. Yun Che simply turned his head sideways as he spoke "Maybe I didn't think things through when I saved her. Well, s.h.i.+t happens for a right reason."
Retsu slowly placed Cang Yue's head on Minazuki's body before she hugged him from behind. "*Giggle…. That why I love you, Yuu-kun. You always think about others rather than yourself. Personally, I don't mind a new sister."
Yun Che started to sweat dropped as her spoke "Yeah, I am not sure how Little Fairy would take it. That person is her beloved sister though. Besides, it was Mihawk who captured her heart. Not me. In her eyes, I am just a being who caused a ruckus at his own wedding."
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, why do always the one who get the girls?" Kon sighs with his usual jealous tone.
Yun Che smiled sheepishly as he spoke internally "Sigh, man….. I have to keep my actions in check. Saving someone might be good but it might cause some unwanted effects on women though. I died in the first place because of it. Then again, sometimes I do wish to be alone for once but things happened for a reason right?"
"By the way, you dumba.s.s. Why in the world my level is stuck on Level 70? A message told me that the administrator needed to complete the main mission before I can proceed. What in the world is it talking about?" Kon suddenly asked him. He thought he might gain some levels after killing his opponents back then but all he got was a level capped notification. Which kind of bring his mood down after leveling up several levels.
"Me too, Yuu-kun. I am stuck on level 70 as well." Retsu spoke behind his ear as well.
"Nee-san, you too? I thought your level probably reached level 74 or something. You did kill big pieces of meat back then." Kon asked Retsu which she replied him otherwise.
Yun Che scratch the bridge of his nose as he wondered these two might ask him this kind of question later. Its about time he owes them an explanation. "Sigh…. Both of you reached the level cap. Same as me."
"Level cap?" The two jinxed at the same time.
"The system required me to reach the southern part of the world before it allows me to breakthrough to the level cap and ascend to the next realm. Not only me, it applies to any of my summoned companions as well." He explained as Kon and Retsu nodded their heads.
Then, he continued "Southern part of the world is the Illusory Demon Realm. A continent quite far away from the Profound Sky Continent where the next piece of Eden lies. However, if we were to fly there non-stop. We can reach that continent in three months' time."
"That long?" Mio exclaimed. Jasmine just keep quiet as she still didn't possessed her spatial rip just yet or else she might arrived faster than antic.i.p.ated. She also saw from the Apple that the current planet they're in is quite large and the distance between two continents is that ma.s.sive.
He continued "In order for us to breakthrough into level 71, we must reach that place. But, if we look in on the bright side, all experience will be stacked and restored to us once we reached the Illusory Demon Realm. So, gather as much experience points as you can before we make our way to the next continent."
"Eh?!?! Demon realm? You have to go the realm of the demons?" Kon suddenly had a scared expression written all over him.
"Not real demons, you knucklehead. They're just normal humans but known as demons by the Profound Sky Continent's cultivators. They called them demons because most cultivators there have the strength of Emperor Profound Realm being the weakest. Imagine what kind of strength the strongest would have. Moreover, they have bigger profound energy pool than people in this continent. You can say they're humans with extra energy within them."
"Haa, they're normal humans? That's a relief." Kon let out a breath of relief. He might be a level 70 creature but he didn't have extra power-ups like Retsu and Yun Che or even Mio. His lion form was still a slightly bigger cub than his original lion form. Even if his attack powers was stronger, all he can do now is kill his opponent secretly by using the streak of light technique.
"That's what you're worried about?" Yun Che suddenly sweat dropped at his statement.
Kon suddenly had tick marks on his head and pointed his plushy arm at him. "Of course you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I am didn't possessed monstrous powers like you three. Then again, Kon-sama finally attained the pleasure of leveling up on to meet with a cap. Why are we staying here instead of going to the Illusory Demon Realm?"
"Like I said, I am not spending three months just to get there and some of my business in this continent aren't done yet. I need a transport fast enough to get us there in an instant."
"You can just build one using the blueprint mode." Jasmine suddenly interjects his and Kon's conversation. He did explained to them that the system can craft materials for him. Even so far as to create a modernized s.h.i.+p. If he really came from an advanced realm, travelling through thousands and thousands of kilometers won't even be a sweat.
"Easy for you to say and where in the world am I going to get the materials for it? The system is specific with materials with it didn't tell me where to find them. Besides..... In two years' time, we'll get there."
"Two years?!? Kon-sama can't wait that long."
"Deal with it. My system, my rules." He retorted Kon's words only to have been suddenly went all four and feeling depressed.
Mio just giggled seeing both Yun Che and Kon were getting along with each other. Then again, a question pops into her head as well. "Dannsama… why is my strength is not capped like the others?"
"That's because your strength was already surpa.s.sed Peak Sky Profound Realm when I contracted you. So, your level is the only one in our group that's a little higher and isn't capped by the system. Same as Cang Yue as well." He explained as Mio's strength did entered the realm of the Sovereign. He sometimes wondered what kind of powers Mio had even the Azure Dragon feared her back then? He also noted that Mio can cultivate two ways, that is consuming his energy and levelling up at the same time. However, energy consuming needed from his is a once a month method that allows her to jump a smaller realm instantly. If she's really low on energy and she initiate the method, she can easily jumped two levels just like in the trial realm. Not that he mind, as long as she asked from him. He instantly thought that technique is similar like siphoning experience from other players back in his original world.
Mio nodded her head in understanding but hearing Cang Yue's name suddenly spiked her interest. "I wonder how strong Yue'er is going to be once she cultivated that technique."
"Oh, she'll be much stronger than her current self. In two years' time, she'll reached the Peak of Sovereign Profound Realm."
"Goodness!!! Is that technique really that powerful?" Retsu and Kon were instantly stunned. Cang Yue did explained how the Moon Empress was able to jump from ordinary mortal to peak of this world in an instant. That's how she was able to attained a legendary rank even the people from the selection would do anything just to obtain that technique. It was a good thing Yun Che was strong enough to fend them off. Now, that technique exclusively belong to Cang Yue alone.
Yun Che decided to explain the technique's nature to them. "Her technique absorbs the Moon's energy to purify her body and elevated her cultivation. She is also able to use the energy of the moon in battle as well as having perks during the night. However, to trigger such absorption, she must expose herself to the Moon every night. The best day is during the full moon phase which occurred five days every month."
"Only in full moon phase?" Retsu curiously asked.
"Yes, that's the only phase which gives her the highest energy output. Other phases work too but the energy isn't as strong as full moon. So that's why she needed at least two years to get to that stage." All of them nodded in understanding as Yun Che finishes his explanation. Even if its not as easy as the system's leveling up but that technique can be considered powerful among mortals.
"Well, we better get started to improving our own cultivation as well. Just stack as much experience as you can before we make our way to the Illusory Demon Realm."
"Hai!!!" Retsu, Mio and Kon instantly replied as they gained insights of gaining more experience points to level up their cultivation.
A few hours later, they arrived somewhere quite deep into the Blue Wind Empire. Judging from this kind of distance, no wonder there's no cultivator city within its vicinity. This place is also full of demonic beast as well as lower rank hollows. Suddenly, the harmless apple started to glow just like when they first found it earning all of their attention.
"Strange, that never happen before. I thought it was harmless." Jasmine suddenly widen her eyes as the harmless apple in her hands suddenly glow.
"It was and it's still is…. If it glows, it must be reacted to something." Then Apple's glowing seemed to be triggered by something and as soon as they turned their heads to the front. All of them immediately widen their eyes as they saw a ma.s.sive dome barrier similar to the barriers within the tomb from before. The barrier was filled with Isu markings all over it. Since Retsu and the others never seen an Isu marking before, the sight left them speechless for a moment. But, the markings aren't the issue here. It was the size of the barrier that left them speechless.
"Man, that's one big barrier." Yun Che spoke as the others nodded. The barrier isn't just big, it was ma.s.sive. It was enough to cover the entire mountain range and probably hundreds of acres of land covered by it.
"Strange, why didn't we see it before?" Jasmine spoke next to him.
"Probably it was hidden entirely and only the apple can reveal it." But they saw a bird flying towards the barrier but it didn't even stop to avoid it. But it simply phased through the barrier like it was nothing. So they concluded that the barrier was only visible to the one holding the apple as well as those who were in its vicinity.
[Ding…. Host has arrived near the boundary of the sanctuary protected by an Isu profound barrier. It is advised to enter the barrier on foot as system didn't detect any entrance in the air. Originally, only powerless people can enter the barrier while cultivators will phase through it and will never arrived at the sanctuary. Only the apple has the power to opened up the barrier and allowed the host to enter as a cultivator. The barrier suppressed any Profound Strength to the point that cultivators turned back into mortals but since host possessed the Apple, the barrier will not affect the host's and companion's powers.]
[Bear in mind that the people living in this sanctuary are powerless mortals or non-cultivators.]
As he read the notification, he nodded in understanding before turning his head towards Retsu. "I see. Retsu, set Minazuki down here and we'll proceed on foot."
"Hai…" In an instant, Minazuki set itself down in the forest before turned back into Retsu's asauchi form. Jasmine still refused to be seen by other people so she immediately entered his inner world to store her gigai before coming back out here as a soul form.
"Eh?!? Sister Jasmine, you can do that?" Mio was shocked enough as she seen Jasmine outside his body while floating.
"More like the system allowed her to." Yun Che spoke with a flat tone.
"I can join all of you like this and mortals and cultivators can't even see me since I am protected by the system. Blame this idiot for not telling me the method before."
"You didn't ask so I didn't tell."
"Hmph…"
"Anyway, let's go to the sanctuary. I always wondered what kind of place Xuyi has created for her sanctuary."
"What are waiting for? Let's go." Kon shouted with enthusiasm while Yun Che slowly shoving the hibernating Cang Yue into a bridal carry. He can't expect his girls to carry her while he himself walked with empty hands.
The rest of the girls and Kon nodded before they travel towards the barrier itself. As expected, the Apple was reacting towards the barrier before it slowly opened up a doorway for them. The energy around the doorway slowly dissolve itself before opening up a circular tunnel leading into the barrier. Looks like the system was right. Since they are cultivators, it's impossible for the barrier to opened up like this. The Apple was just a backup key. Come to think of it, Xuyi was a cultivator as well. How did she walk freely into her sanctuary like this?
The moment they entered the barrier, what greets them next shocks them instantly.
"Beautiful…."
"How could this be…?"
"Oi…oi…it didn't even look like this from the outside."
Retsu, Mio and Kon's reaction were priceless as they witness the beautiful scenery in front of them. When they entered the barrier, beautiful blue skies greeted them with flowery forest as far as the eye can see. Beautiful floating lights were everywhere as they could see as flowers and green gra.s.s surrounded their feet as well as beautiful ma.s.sive waterfall in the distance. Even the air around them feels as if they steeped into a different realm. What shocks them was floating islands actually exist in the barrier. This is truly a different world compared to the harsh Profound Sky Continent. This is indeed a fantasy world or a paradise like in the novels. If cultivators of the outside world get a whiff of this, they will seize it by force and established a ma.s.sive sect here.
Jasmine widen her eyes as she saw the beautiful world in front of them. "That Xuyi, she was already this powerful? To be able to create a world like this…."
"She can create a separate realm within a barrier. Looks like she wasn't kidding on creating a sanctuary. We are still in the Profound Sky Continent but this is a realm within the barrier. Not a different dimension."
"Yun Che, do you think this is an illusion?" Jasmine refused to believe this beautiful scenery is real. She instantly thought it was an illusion or she stepped into a different dimension.
Yun Che decided to touch the ground and flowers in front of him. Moreover, his sharingan didn't detect unusual abnormality from the realm to there's no way this beautiful world is an illusion. he shook his head. "No, this is not. Its hundred percent real."
Jasmine still refused to believe a mere mortal like her able to accomplished such feat. "How? You must be at least a powerful divine cultivator to create a world like this. A mere Sovereign Profound Realm cultivators isn't powerful enough to accomplished this."
"She had the apple, toots. With the apple and her strength, it's not impossible to accomplished such feat. Within this barrier, everything she thought can be turned into a reality. This is probably the world what she dreamed it would be." Yun Che simply explained while holding the apple in front of him. This simple thing has give Xuyi the luxury of building her own version of paradise.
"Before she was greeted by the harsh reality of the world." Jasmine continued his sentence.
He nodded and continued "The barrier was able to sustain her powers as she created it through the apple. In the hands of a powerless mortal, this world might be an illusion but this is divine cultivator we're talking about. She was able to create a powerful Isu barrier before making her own version of the world. Explains why the barrier was able to covered tremendous distance. If we didn't have the apple, we might have phased through it without knowing such a world exist."
"Goodness, such a beautiful world. I wish the Azure Dragon would put me in this world instead that cramped world of his." Mio spoke as she admired the beauty of the world. Although it's not literally a different dimension, it was enough to give the feeling of otherworldly.
Mio just giggled on her statement before she commented "Giggle…. Mio chan, I won't mind spending the rest of my life here. Then again, living my life as a mortal might be a boring thing."
"Worlds like this is common in the Realm of the G.o.ds but to see this kind of world exist in the mortal realm is enough to amaze me." Jasmine spoke.
"Then again, it's not a separate dimension. It's a modified world within an Isu barrier. Still, I can't deny Jasmine's thought. I am pretty impressed she could create this realm." He remembered this place as a new a separate realm in the barrier but Xuyi built this world on top of her hometown. A safe haven for non-cultivators.
"But, I don't know why. This realm is really peaceful. Although it's not like your inner world buts it's something." Kon made his usual bad remark.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d…the inner world is my own realm. I am still developing it. Cut me some slack." Yun Che sighs at Kon's statement before adjusting Cang Yue's position. He wanted her to be comfortable in his arms. If she was awake, she might have pa.s.sed out from being too close with him. All of them proceeded to walk through the enchanted forest at the same time admiring its beauty. Xuyi really outdone herself this time as she was once stood on the peak of the world for two thousand years and its impossible that she won't be able to accomplished this kind of feat.
As they walk through the forest, they even saw ordinary animals which is quite common in this barrier's world. What impressed them was these animals didn't possessed any shred of energy unlike those demonic beasts outside. Retsu slowly spoke "Even the animals in here are powerless as well."
"Well, the barrier did suppress any cultivation of man and animals as if they are mortals. Animals were no exception as well." Yun Che explained the nature of the barrier's power to them. It's been a while since he saw ordinary animals like this in this world of cultivation. If animals were stronger than humans, then how are those humans going to survive in this world?
Rustle…rustle….
The sound of rustling within bushes were suddenly heard as Yun Che and the others continued their walk. Since all of them had haki, they can sense a movement within it but decided not to do anything about it. The energy signature followed them until they reached this part of the forest but mortals in this realm are harmless. There's no use using their powers against them.
"Yuu-kun…." Retsu instantly contact him with the Tenteikura which he replied "Just walk normally… don't show your cultivation or any strength at all. We don't want to freak it out." Part of him wanted to fly out of the forest and searched the village through the air but what would those people feel when they witness flying people suddenly came into their village uninvited.
Unable to take it anymore, he spoke to his surroundings. "Look, we don't like being followed. Why don't you show yourself? Don't worry, we won't hurt you."
The rustling sound suddenly went quiet when he spoke those words but culprit didn't even show itself to them as if it went quiet. But, its signature was still among the bushes. Not even trying to get away.
"Looks like I have to take a drastic measure." Yun Che slowly placed Cang Yue on the ground to free his other hand while the other supports her head.
"What are you doing?" Jasmine was curious what kind drastic measure he wants to do with the signature that's been following them for a while. Yun Che kept his cool before he turned his head towards Kon. With a creepy grin, he suddenly grabbed Kon by his body earning some struggle from him. "Sorry, Kon."
"You…what do you think you are doing to me?" Kon struggle a little but his strength was worthless in his plushy form.
"Do me a favor and gave our little guest a scare." He grinned to his face before tossing him towards the bush. "Ehhhh!!!" Kon instantly dived head first into bush as he was instantly tossed by Yun Che before he could react.
"Kyaaahh!!!" Finally, a girly scream was heard from behind the bushes where Yun Che just threw Kon. Whatever he just did, he finally gave their culprit a little scare. In an instant, a small figure instantly came out of the bushes as if she seen something unbelievable.
"A little girl?" Mio was the first one who react as she saw the owner of the energy signature that's been following them for a while.
"Why would a little girl following us?" Retsu tilted her head as she witnesses the little girl suddenly came out from those bushes. No wonder she detected a smaller signature through her eagle vision. She never expected the one following them would be a little girl. Moreover, she seems innocent as the intent came from her body was blue instead of red. It was a good thing that she managed to use the eagle vision while walking. It was hard to maintain at first but she did practice for several hours for the past two days and was able to control it bit by bit.
The little girl was small probably around the age of six as her size was smaller than average ten-year-old girl. She wore a small purple robe with a cloth tied around her waist. She was carrying some kind of pouch behind her made from cloth into a form of a backpack. As for her feature, she had a lovely hairstyle along with a long ponytail behind her tied with a ribbon. She also wore two ribbons tied on each side of her head used to hold her black hair. She might be a little girl but this she is quite beautiful despite being younger. Especially her big beautiful eyes and her cute nose. What kind of parents she had as they were able to produce this kind of daughter?
When the little girl saw all four of them excluding Jasmine, she tried to run away only had her ways being blocked by a large tree. She turned around before leaning against the tree with a scared expression.
Yun Che decided to slowly approach her while showing her a gentle face as gently spoke "It's okay, don't be scared. We won't hurt you. We pa.s.sed this area and noticed you behind the bushes. Sorry that we scared you."
The little girl remained quiet but her scared expression is still there. Despite being probably around six or seven years old, she has a tough character for not crying in this type of situation. She even secretly followed them without knowing their true nature. But, she didn't expect her presence was detected before she could follow them.
Grumble…. grumble…
He suddenly heard a grumbling sound from the little girl's stomach and immediately made a conclusion. He slowly placed Cang Yue down once more before slowly shows her his free hand. In an instant, a big yellow pear instant appeared on his hand as he pulled it out from his inventory. The pear was one of his cooking ingredients but seeing this hungry girl in front of him, how could he let her starve? It was one of his ethics to feed the needed.
The girl looks at the fruit on his hand as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and the grumbling sounds from her stomach suddenly growl louder. Forgetting the fact that the fruit instantly appeared on his hand. She slowly walks towards him and raised both of her arms to take the big pear. She didn't say anything as she grabs the pair and darted her eyes between it and him.
This girl….. She wanted to ask whether she can eat it but can't bring herself to say it. He simply nodded her head while smiling and the girl instantly eats the big pear with tears running from her eyes. Since she was small, it was too big for her.
Both Mio and Retsu stood by as they sympathized this girl. How could such a young girl wonder this forest alone and haven't eaten anything. She probably followed them because she was hungry but couldn't ask them herself. What drove such a young girl into the forest with nothing to eat? Moreover, she's not even a cultivator. Any fierce animal in the forest can easily squish her like a bug.
Mio and Retsu looked the little girl with a sad expression. "Poor girl, she probably got lost and hasn't eaten anything yet."
"We're just strangers to her. And I kind of made a bad first impression by tossing Kon into the bushes." Yun Che simply spoke as he observed the beautiful girl as she devoured the giant pear in an instant.
Speaking of which...
"Teme!!! What's your problem?!? Suddenly tossing me into the bush like that?!?!" Kon suddenly emerged from the bust stomping his plushy feet. However, his current action seems to give this little one a scare again.
"Eeep!!" The little girl startled as she suddenly heard Kon's loud voice before running away again. But this time, she hid behind a tree while peeking her head towards them. Yun Che suddenly had tick marks on his head before shooting Kon with a glare."Great, you scared her off."
"Scared what off? Oh..... sorry about that." Kon realized the solemn atmosphere before decided to quiet down.
"*Sigh… Girls…. Let's camp here for the day before finding that sanctuary. I bet you girls must be tired." He instantly carried Cang Yue to a large spot underneath a big tree before gently placing her on top of a sheet that he instantly prepared.
"But, we could travel more." Kon spoke while making his way back to his shoulder.
"That girl over there seems really tired. If she was here and her body condition isn't that bad, it means she's probably from that settlement makes her departure from the village maybe around this morning. By rights, the distance she could cover isn't that big." Since his haki area of coverage is quite big, he should be able to detect people's signature tomorrow if he made his way to the center of the barrier's world.
"The settlement must be around here then?" Retsu spoke as she sat on one of the fallen wooden logs.
"We could try going to that giant waterfall in the morning and enhance our haki's coverage, we might find something from there. Mio, Retsu.....prepare us your best meal since we have a little guest today."
"Hai…. Dannsama… You seem very nice to that kid though… you'll make a great father to our child in the future." Mio spoke while holding her both of her red cheeks with her palms. Kind of the same with the Mio that he read from that manga when she expressed her blush or happiness. Kind of cute actually.
"Or my child…" Retsu suddenly snapped Mio from her daydream again. These two sometimes like to do food wars with each other with the betting the t.i.tle of the head wife. He didn't know how many battles these two fought with each other and sometimes involve Cang Yue as well. The result always ended up in a draw but at least these girls have fun while at it. Sometimes, they asked him to teach them more recipes to have an edge over another. It's kind of cute when these girls acting like normal girls instead of becoming some cold blooded dark killers for a change.
Yun Che instantly sweat dropped at the girls' statement before he replied "Hai…hai… it's probably I had a rough past though. I won't let an innocent kid like her experience such difficulty." Although he was happy that these two made bold claims that they will be the mother of his children but he wasn't sure he was ready to have a kid or kids just yet.
"Rough past? You never told me." Jasmine sounded next to him. His statement also attracts the attention of Mio and Retsu. Looks like she doesn't know her disciple that well just yet. His past probably referred to his original past back in his original world, not that current Yun Che's past.
"I'll tell you girls someday. Let's just rest for now." He sheepishly denied their questions before helping them setting up. Whatever of what kind of past he has, he wasn't ready to tell them just yet.
The girls nodded before started to prepare a bonfire for cooking. The little girl secretly observed them from behind the tree and her eyes instantly widen as Retsu and Mio pulled out cooking materials and utensils from air just like Yun Che. This is her first time witness such feat performed by these strangers. Not only that, she also widens hers eyes again as Yun Che simply snapped his fingers and crimson fire suddenly rose from the firewood. Usually, fires were yellowish and orange but this is the first time she saw a crimson fire.
Cultivators might puke blood if they witnessed the phoenix flames were used to cook instead of a technique in battle. Well, it was his fire so he can do whatever he wants with it. Plus, the food will cook much faster than ordinary flames. The smell of the food surrounded the air and even spark another hunger from the hidden little girl.
After a while, Mio suddenly ran towards him with a happy smile. "Dannsama…. Look here… look here…. Me and Retsu managed to create a new recipe." She shows him a plate with rice covered by creamy curry sauce along with well cooked meat covered with potatoes as well as tempting spices which enhanced the smell.
"Wooo…smell nice. What is this…?" Kon stuffy nose twitches as he smells the desirable smell of the dish as he instantly arrived on Yun Che's shoulder.
"*Giggle… What do you think, Yuu-kun? This is our specially made curry rice." Yun Che was entirely speechless. These girls always outdone themselves when it comes to food but never expected they made a tempting food from a simple recipe. Moreover, it even attracted the little girl to come closer to them but this time, she merely observed from behind the tree. He smiled at the girls as Retsu understood his intention. She placed the plate of curry rice along with a cup of water near the campfire as she gently waved her hand at the little girl. Surprisingly, she came out from her hiding spot as she slowly sat near it. All of them could tell that she was really looking forward into eating it.
The little girl slowly scoops the curry rice and give it a little whiff. In an instant, she shoved it into her mouth as fast as she could.
"Eat slowly…. We have plenty." Retsu gently spoke to her before started to prepare their own share. Since all of them tend to eat a lot, she prepared a lot just for tonight's dinner. Jasmine could touch physical objects with her soul form and she too can taste their cooking. The funny thing is, everything she touch turned invisible to the naked eyes of any mortals it means whatever she touch can only be seen by Yun Che and the others. This is new….
The little girl's expression was the same when she ate the fruit from before. She was shedding tears as she scooped a mouthful of rice into her mouth. This is probably the most delicious food she had ever tasted as the girl's expression was indeed genuine. But, even after all of that, she refused to speak her mind. Even when she wanted seconds, their slowly handed her empty plate to Retsu but she didn't say anything. Its common from where they came from when a person handed their plate to her, it means they wanted seconds. Retsu just smiled before giving her seconds but at least this girl slowly giving her trust to them. She even sits closer instead of further away from them.
As nightfall came, the forest was even beautiful than before. As Yun Che observed the majestic skies, his mind drifted back to his home world. Back then, his world was so devastated that witnessing this kind of sky can be considered a rare and a miracle occasion. Coupled from the area Xuyi had created, this kind of world was perfect for someone who wanted to settle down. But for a cultivator like him, settling down might be a little later. Mio and Retsu seemed preoccupied at the moment while Jasmine went back to freshen up.
For almost two years he a.s.sumed the life of Yun Che and turned it into his own. The adventures he went so far was much different compared to the original Yun Che's adventure. But, he wanted to deal with the conflicts his own way rather than settling everything instantly. Which so far works well. Now that he had the system which constantly upgrades as soon as he obtained a rare treasure. His life was almost perfect. But, he didn't forget his promise to return back to his original world. Which might have happened if he reached the maximum level of this world. The true peak of existence in this world.
He sat near the sleeping little girl who curled up like a ball beside him. He slowly pulls out a blanket and covered her with it. Tomorrow, he wanted to find that settlement and fulfilled Xuyi's final wish. This was Xuyi's homeland. It is by right she should be buried here on the place that she considered a paradise.
*Snore….snore…
"Tsk, this guy…." His eyes suddenly darted towards Kon who slept like a log on top of a rock near the campfire. This guy did almost nothing all day managed to sleep like he did all the work by himself. Well, as much as he likes to bother than guy and treated him like slave. He did toss him into the bush without his consent.
"Danna sama…. Yuu-kun…" Then, two lovely voices suddenly entered his ears as he turned around his head. What he saw was his two lovely ladies came towards him and one of them was carrying a circular tray with a cup of warm drink.
"Dannsama, I've prepared some tea for you." Mio spoke while maintaining her elegance like a good housewife.
"Oh…thank you. Mio…. I was absent minded for a while." He spoke as he gestured the two girls to sit near him. With each one nuzzled their head on his chest while leaning on his body. He admits these two have the softness and warmth that can make a man happy for rest of his life.
"Yuu-kun… Can I ask you a question?" Retsu suddenly asked him gaining Mio's attention as well. Whatever things she asked, it must be something important. He turned his head to her. "I am all ears."
Retsu pulled a deep breath before she spoke her mind. "Do you have thoughts on settling down?"
"What do you mean?" Yun Che was taken a aback. He didn't expect this kind of question came from her. Then, she continued "I mean, living our lives as ordinary mortals in a secluded s.p.a.ce without caring the worldly affairs. Have kids and raise a family?"
"Oh…where's this coming from?"
"Seeing you treated that girl with care making us think that maybe somewhere within our hearts, we desired a given affection to a child of our own."
He closed his eyes for a second thinking of a proper answer but he answered it anyway. "I did think of it but I am not ready yet. I can make you two my wives but kids might be a low chance for us right now."
"Why is that, Dannsama?" Mio asked him with curious eyes as well.
"Right now, part of us wanted to become the peak of existence or a max level players of the system. I wanted to fulfill such dream before we settle down and I don't want our kids to grow with conflicts around us. If they grow, let be with peaceful environment. Even if we have the powers to settle our conflicts but we have to think our families that we left behind."
"Besides, I wanted us to be in the peak of existence. I wanted to explore this world to my heart's content while protecting my beloved girls and family. I wanted to watch my children grow up instead of went missing for ten years and coming back for a few days before went missing for years again. I never wanted such things to happen. Why bother having kids if you're not going to be with them at all times? Moreover, we're still young though. All of us. Maybe Mio is a bit older but her mind is around our age." Yun Che made his resolve. He made sure that he will never let his guard down to prevent any unwanted accidents with a woman now and probably in the future. He was sure with the system, he can prevent such things from happening and he still hasn't giving up on making Little Fairy's dream a reality.
"Mou….Dannsama… I am still 18 years old in my mind." Mio pouted as Yun Che say something about her age. She technically older on the outside but younger on the inside. If the system designed her to be this young, then she'll be a young girl in his eyes.
Retsu nodded her head as she wanted to respect his wish. "Then, we will honor your wish. Yuu-kun. But I still wanted to be the first one to carry your child."
"I'll be the second!!! Yue'er can be the third." Mio spoke with enthusiasm.
Yun Che immediately sweat dropped with these girls bold statement as they really think having a child is an easy matter. "Haii….hai… you girls making these matters look easy. But, I mean it when our chances might be low though."
"Low chances?" Both of them jinxed once more. They tend to do that from time to time.
"I mean, when it comes to cultivators. The chances of us having children decreased the moment our cultivation rises. Even if we entered the realm of the Divines, our chances might be low to none. But, we still have chances even if its 1%"
"Eh?!? This is new to me. It means we…." Mio suddenly stuttered as her face suddenly went red.
Yun Che grinned as he continued her sentence. "We just have to keep trying until one of you finally conceive."
"Keep… trying…? *poof…." Steam started coming out from Mio's ears as she imagined the union between the man and woman. Since her strength now almost at peak of mortal's realm, it means she has to tried lots and lots of time. Thinking about it makes her head suddenly filled with dirty thoughts.
"Having lots and lots of… 'tries' with Yuu-kun." Retsu started imagined those lewd things she's going to do with him. Imagined such things suddenly turned her face redder than a tomato. These girls might talk about settling down but how can they settle if these thoughts still blew some steam from their heads.
"All right… let's get some sleep before your heads explode from such thoughts. We will have our tries in the future though. And....." He suddenly whispers into their ears and spoke "I'll tend to your needs every day after we got married."
"Needs?!? *Poof!!!" The two girls finally blew their tops after hearing such bold statement. Yun Che just sighs as these two might tease him about becoming his wives all the time but two can play that game. Despite being powerful cultivators, these two are indeed innocent to the core. If Cang Yue were here, she might have pa.s.sed out before he even knew it.
But, he started to s.h.i.+ver down his spine if he had more girls in the future. He might enjoy it but tending the needs of multiple girls at the same in the future might be a little hard. Well, it's not that hard if he could keep up. Moreover, these two tend to have bigger appet.i.tes when it comes to food. What would happen if they tasted 'that' kind of meal? He s.h.i.+vers once again as he imagined how these two would become when they asked him to 'feed' them.
Seeing this girls s.h.i.+vers in embarra.s.sment might be fun but his senses instantly picked up something coming towards them. With a heavy sigh, he spoke "You know what girls, scratch sleep out of the list. We might have some company."
"*Sigh.... and I was going to have my Yuu-kun's moment." Retsu's reddening face was slowly replaced by her stoic face as her moments were interrupted. Mio also turned dark just like in the manga when she was angry or annoyed at something. "To think that these ants really wanted to attack us."
"We can't blame them though. They can't detect our cultivation even if they wanted to." Yun Che instantly calmed his two sweet girls down but he couldn't help of being annoyed as well the moment their sweet time was interrupted.
Their questions were finally answered when they detected several signatures started to make their way here. Originally, they detected these signatures a distance away but never expected they came here once they switch off their haki for a single moment.
"Hoho, such beauties...Looks like the nights after this won't be lonely anymore."
Yun Che's and the girl's moment suddenly jolted when they heard a manly voice entered their ears. All of a sudden, a burly man dressed in a leather type armor suddenly emerged from the forest and entered their point of view. Even if they currently have stoic expression, they suppressed their urge to laugh as they saw this man's weird mustache. It was kind of weird seeing someone had a long mustache like that.
"My.....such beauties. This is the first time this master has witnessed such beauties in my eyes." The burly man instant felt his crotch is on fire as he saw Retsu and Mio's beauty. Not to mention their exquisite clothing which radiate their beauties even further.
"Boss, don't keep them to yourself. Give us a piece of it." Not just the burly man, multiple men with similar fas.h.i.+on started to appear one after another from behind the forest's trees. The rest of them seems to carry weapons like swords or spears and maybe axes. Judging from the way these people are dressed, they're probably mountain bandits.
"Hmph, those ladies are mine and mine alone. You f.u.c.kers stay the f.u.c.k out of my way." The burly man shouted to his subordinates. Then, he instantly saw another woman as he saw a red headed woman with similar beauty was sleeping beside the campfire. Feeling absolute l.u.s.t came from his crotch, he turned his head towards Yun Che and the others." A pretty boy and three beauties.... Brat, don't hog all the beauties to yourself. Why don't you share them with us? We promise to treat them with care."
These men were instantly grew excited as this is the first time they saw such supreme beauties in front of their eyes. Even women they saw before coming here was paled in comparison. If they were to describe them, they almost comparable to a G.o.ddess. The rest of the men also felt the same thing as the burly man.
Yun Che and the others bore a bored expression as they witnessed these men especially him. He started to remember his days as a virtual world gamer where he reach maximum level with a lot of cultivated skills. An ultimate G.o.d emperor who had tens of t.i.tles making him the most feared player in the history of gaming. So, one day he was really bored so he decided to descend to the realm of beginners to take a walk. Like every other strong players, taking a walk in a lower level can be fun to waste some time. While other becoming bullies or carries, he decided to take a simple walk. What he didn't expect was a non-player level one NPC had the guts to rob him in broad daylight. He was like 'What?' the entire time.
The same case as these morons. All of them are peak level existence in the world of cultivation and when they entered this mortal realm, they can be considered G.o.ds. Literally and figuratively. But, these guys decided to rob them and even had the guts on taking Retsu and Mio.
Really?
These mortals decided to rob G.o.ds like them? Its like these guys really asked for beating. He sweat dropped thinking sometimes mortals really are clueless. Until they f.u.c.ked things up then they realized their so called mistakes. They really like to offend something beyond their control. Yun Che, Mio and Retsu slowly got up to take a closer look at them. Probably their nature as thieves, these guys really are mountain bandits that terrorized these plains. Even if they met an Elementary Profound Realm cultivators, these guys will be instantly destroyed by them. Not to mention a peak Sky Profound Realm like them who had the combat prowess of a Sovereign Profound Realm or a pure monarch like Mio.
The little girl suddenly jolted from her sleep due to the burly man's loud voice. But, her expression was turned into fear as soon as she saw these men. She instantly ran behind the tree she was sleeping before. Judging from her expression, she probably ran away from these guys before.
"Boss!!! That's the little girl who ran away from us from before. She was with them this whole time." One of the men instantly recognized her.
"Boss, they're trembling in fear. Let's just beat him up and take the ladies and the kid. We can sold the little one as a slave. Beautiful kids like her will fetch a big price." The rest of the bandits surrounded their camp in order to prevent their escape. The burly man walks to the front acting as their leader slowly corners Yun Che and the others. But, since they are mortals. They didn't exhibit any energies enough to jolt someone awake. Despite all of this, Kon was still able to sleep peacefully but these bandits mistaken him for a doll instead of a beast.
"Brat, didn't you hear what he just say? Surrender your ladies and that little girl to us and we might consider you into our ranks. We might let you have some fun with their bodies when I am done with them. Bahahaha!!!"
Yun Che slowly rubs the bridge of his nose as he spoke "This is stupid."
"What was that?!?" The burly man shouted as he was insulted by his remark.
"I expect this sanctuary full of nice people but never expected this. Guess humans are humans after all." He spoke followed by a nod from the girls.
"Brat.... you won't be able to get away with this. Don't you know who I am?" The burly man shouted towards them as he himself wondered why the beauties and this brat didn't have the slightest fear in their faces. But, the brat replied something that really draw the last straw from him. "Nope... don't know and don't care."
"Why you.....!!! You'll pay for disrespecting me. Men!!! Capture them!!" Feeling irritated, the burly man ordered his men to capture them all by force but what he didn't expect was...
SWISH
Yun Che instantly arrived in front of them shocking the burly man entirely. "You really think mere numbers can intimidate us?" He instantly landed a punch direct to his stomach without any strength and the extra buff from the Great Way of the Buddha.
"Huarrkk!!!" The burly man was instantly staggered from the punch. He never experience such powerful punch before and never expected it would hurt this much. At the same time, Yun Che instantly jumped before landing a solid kick to the burly man's face as he was staggered from the punch, sending him straight to the bushes with a loud bang.
The rest of the men were instantly stunned by his performance as he sent the burly man flying with a single kick. "Heh.... its been a while since I involved myself in a street fight." He admit, sometimes a fight without profound strength might be fun and its been a while he experience such things.
"Girls, why don't you join me? Don't kill them because you won't get any experience from killing any of them. Just play with good old fist fight for once." Seeing his example, Mio and Retsu also enters the fight together with him. They instantly loosen their kimono a little exposing their creamy white legs to the men around them. Not as a seduction but to allow them to perform comfortably in a good mortal combat style.
Despite never being exposed to basic martial arts, these girls had their own share of fun as well. One by one, the men were sent flying by their powerful kicks and punches despite they didn't infuse any strength in it. Even with the long kimono in the way, Retsu and Mio were able to utilized them in a fist fight and loosen these kimonos a little kind of increasing their movement. Yun Che was quite speechless seeing these girls can hold on their own using their own way of hand to hand combat style. They even know how to disarmed a man from his weapon. Looks like the system had something implemented in their heads when they were created.
It doesn't have to be a specific martial arts. These ladies just block, evade and counter their attacks accordingly. Even with the kimono's long cloth is in the way, they were still able to cause some damage to the men with their fist and sandals. If these mortals bully them with numbers, then they just have to respond with their moves.
"Huarrgghhh!!!....Save me!!!....Mommy!!!" The screams of agony were heard throughout the area as Yun Che and the two ladies beat their sorry a.s.ses to oblivion. They were having so much fun that they didn't even realized the burly man was slowly waking up from Yun Che's direct kick. Well, he didn't infuse any strength in that kick so it didn't cause him ma.s.sive damage but the swollen part is really obvious.
"Bas.....tard....." The burly man slowly rose from behind the bush while rubbing his swollen face only to be greeted by the sight of his men being sent flying by the brat and those ladies. "How!!! How is this guy and those women stronger than us?" Seeing his men slowly fell one by one, the burly man saw the little girl in the distance before smiling sinisterly.
After a while, Yun Che, Mio and Retsu were the only ones still standing in the sea of fallen men around them. Both girls admit that street fights like this is much fun than ordinary profound battles among cultivators. The feeling of landing a blow to the face without killing them is much more tempting than profound strength. Still, outside the barrier. The rules of street fight are sometimes invalid.
"KYAAAHH!!!!" Suddenly a screaming sound was heard from behind as Yun Che and the others turned their heads. What they saw was, the burly man with a swollen face from before was holding the little girl's head while lifting her up. She was just a little girl and the man's size was enough to crush her head.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds... I gave you chances to surrender. Now, you even move a muscle. I'll have her killed in an instant."
"HYAAAHH!!!" The little girl screamed as the burly man squeezed her small head. In an instant, more bandits started to arrived from multiple directions even though dozens of them were defeated by Yun Che and the others.
Yun Che was really p.i.s.sed as this guy takes an innocent girl as hostage and dozens more surrounded them. He play it by the books but this guy really started to p.i.s.sed him off. Even the two girls were no exception.
"Retsu...Mio.... I'll take that guy... You two, do as you please.... but, don't kill them." The other two nodded their heads before turning around to the reinforcement. Only this time, they exhibit a little killing intent causing all the men to s.h.i.+ver down their spine.
"You....I told you to....!!!" The burly men suddenly had cat got his tongue as he watched Yun Che walks towards him only this time, the aura of despair is around him. He tried to squeeze the little girl's head to stop him on his track but he felt like he can't even control his own body. He even didn't feel any pain came from his swollen face. The truth is he was actually trembling in fear as he felt death itself slowly walked towards him. Yun Che's glowing red eyes started to affect him as he slowly drops the girl to the ground.
"Looks like the kick before didn't actually hurt, did it?" Yun Che's intimidating voice slowly affecting him into submission but before he could react....
POW!!!
He felt absolute pain came to his face as another punch was thrown by the brat. The last fist to his stomach really hurts but this time, it was excruciating. Only G.o.d knows what kind of pain he felt when that fist arrived on his face. He didn't even realized the punch sent him flying further than the kick to his face into the forest behind him. Triggering an explosion in a distance.
Yun Che instantly calmed down as he approached the little girl to check on her condition. But, what he didn't expect was she instantly sprung into his chest and crying as loud as she could. She finally escaped with her life intact and he was the nearest source of comfort. She even refused to let him go as she poured her tears into his clothes.
"First Little Fairy, then Cang Yue....Chu Yueli and now her...." He sighs as he remembered the total amount of girls crying on his chest until now.
Back to Mio and Retsu, the two remained stoic as Retsu slowly smiled. "Mio-chan, let's use 'that'."
Seeing them surrounded by more men than before, Mio smiled while maintaining the dark aura around her. "Hai....it's been a while since I used 'that' as well." Retsu suddenly pulled 'that' out of her inventory followed by Mio. 'That' refers to a ladle used by Retsu for her cooking while Mio pulled out a frying pan which Yun Che refers these weapons as the Housewife's Weapons of Death.
When these girls pulled out something ordinary as weapons, one of the men shouted as they thought those men who fell before they arrived were handled by Yun Che. "They're only weak women. Let's capture them!!"
Mio just remain stoic as she flares her scary aura around her causing the men suddenly flinch. She turned her scary eyes towards the man and spoke "Hooo....what did you say? You really wanted me to kill you that much?"
As for Retsu, she merely smile as she hid her demonic visage behind her. "You mere maggots. Why don't I twist that mouth off and shove it down your throat."
The girls instantly move towards them and swung their Housewife's Weapons of Death. They didn't hit them that hard but they used their advanced Busoshoku haki to create an emission force to hit them without the weapons touching them directly. Well, they did use these things to cook and wouldn't want their filthy skin to touch it.
Some of them started screaming as the two pretty demonic ladies break their weapons and smash their faces with a ladle and frying pan. As for Mio, smas.h.i.+ng her haki coated frying pan on their faces was kind of fun. "Ara...what pitiful scream."
"I didn't hit you that hard. I hope you didn't accidentally die." Retsu sent two men flying with a single swing from her ladle. What creeps these men was the ladle that didn't even hit them directly and that smile of hers. That d.a.m.n smile of hers. So innocent but so cruel at the same time.
Yun Che sweat dropped as he was still comforting the crying girl and s.h.i.+eld her from the ma.s.sacre behind them. These girls didn't hit them hard and was holding back enough to not to kill them but those men will be traumatized for life if they witnessed their sinister side. Well, since they interrupted their moments with him, both of them really p.i.s.sed off for that reason. Good thing Cang Yue was not conscious to see this.
